Abstract

We herein report a case of linear porokeratosis in a 24-year-old female. Small annular lesions appeared on her left lower extremity at the age of 10 years, together with central areas of atrophy and brownish discoloration of the lesions. These eruptions slowly extended in a linear fashion to the abdomen, back, thorax and left upper extremity. Histological examination revealed vacuolation of epidermal cells, loss of granular layer and disordered cornification column (cornoid lamella). Based on these findings, a diagnosis of linear porokeratosis was made. The distribution of these eruptions followed the lines of Blaschko.
